I think the history function on your timeline looks quite tidy and works quite well. When you click a year, it'll open up all of the months and then drag you down to the most recent item in that year, and will jump down to the most recent item by month too.

It can also be annoying when it decides it doesn't want to go straight to 2014 for example! 

I think the news will work good like that, if it doesn't have the above issue.

Does anyone know what happened to the blue and red style of buses that GNE had?

It it was phased out

The demise of that livery began when the branding of routes was started. The last vehicle to wear that coat was 8289, and it was removed in late 2012 in favour of the ''Northern'' livery.

(27 Dec 2015, 7:45 pm)Dan wrote Liam has already expressed interest to me in changing the homepage - it will probably be done after the news page is completed, as we're juggling about 50 balls at the moment and I'm not keen on the slow development of a new feature.

I'm still adding fleet archive content to the new integrated fleet list/news system, so you will continue to see the months on the left hand side of the news page increase (and in time you'll be able to filter the news by month). By the time I finish Go North East's fleet information and add the other two, there should be very few gaps from month to month.

By way of an update...

Haven't been feeling too good today, so didn't end up going out for photos today or out with my mates tonight, meaning I've had ample time to work on this today. I'm working my way backwards, like I did originally, from the newest vehicles in the fleet to the oldest. I'm now up to 2007, and have completed all of the Scania OmniCitys (so 5275-83 are the only vehicles that remain in this batch). There was quite a few minor errors with what I had on the history of these vehicles before, and these have all now been amended.

Most of what I've done up to now has just been general by month, with no photographs attached to that news story, such as the vehicle below:
http://northeastbuses.co.uk/fleet/gnefle...eetno=8313

With the Scania OmniCitys (5250 up over), providing I have an exact date of something happening, I've separated the news story with an individual photograph so that it's more accurate. You can see what I mean by this below - there's a photograph of that vehicle in April 2009 undergoing the application of branding:
http://northeastbuses.co.uk/fleet/gnefle...eetno=5264

I intend to go back over the newer stuff at a later date, as it'll be much easier to get specific dates for these, but for now the main objective is to restore all of the fleet archive information that was on before the new system was brought in. I doubt I'll be able to work on this much tomorrow, unless I'm still feeling rough, as it looks like it's going to be sunny and I'm out on the night. Will keep you all posted on progress, though!

Hi Dan,
Great progress on the fleet lists! Can I suggest that years are referred as '2015' not '15', as I thought that quite a lot of movements were happening on the 15th of every month!

But dates are usually written DD/MM/YY? Unless you're American, of course where it would be like you wish to avoid.

(28 Dec 2015, 9:25 pm)S813 FVK wrote But dates are usually written DD/MM/YY? Unless you're American, of course where it would be like you wish to avoid.

But everywhere you see "IN CINEMAS DECEMBER 15" or something. I would have no problems if it was '15 though.

I'll go through and proof read it as last time there was a few mistakes/typo's.

Mercedes Citaros 5275-83 have now been updated, with further amendments now that I have a bit more information at hand. I've also updated 3962 and 3965 - no massive amendments on these two, but extra details have been added that weren't there before.

I also spent some time yesterday adding past demonstration vehicles to our 'fleet archive':
http://northeastbuses.co.uk/fleet/gnefleetarchive.php

I'll continue to add the demonstration vehicles over the next few weeks - details on fleet numbers weren't always given on GNE's Fleet Archive, so I'll have to do some digging myself. Hopefully of some assistance, anyhow!

The months/years along the left-hand side of the news page are really getting quite packed out now, so I'll ask Liam if he can start to get it working rather than just sitting there looking pretty!

3963/64 also done, as well as 5337/38.

Quite an extensive history on 3963/64, for buses that haven't been in the fleet for ten years yet!

You've repeat the same thing for when 3964 received CIN branding as you put when it lost Real Radio Vinyl's.

The nine Dennis Dart SLF vehicles hired in summer 2010 pending delivery of the new QuayLink Optare Versas have been added - think it was DanPicken who wanted these originally.

Twas me, as I knew some were Roller Blind others were LED etc and this helps and means the History can be tracked down on them.

8261-6 have a full(?) history.

(18 Jan 2016, 8:28 pm)DanPicken wrote 8261-6 have a full(?) history.

No idea when I did that..!

The most recent change to the fleet list is the addition of all of the ex-London articulated Mercedes Citaros (5339 - 5357), with parts of the fleet history added.
http://northeastbuses.co.uk/fleet/gnefleetarchive.php

I've also added some history for Volvo B7TLs 3966 - 3983 - see example below:
http://northeastbuses.co.uk/fleet/gnefle...eetno=3983

8335 has an bit saying it received the Purple Variation of Quaylink.

Dan G if you want some more GNE demos then feel free to browse this section of my flickr - https://www.flickr.com/photos/gjm-photog...6035077996 - More vehicles will be added in due course.

Also no doubt some of my recent flickr uploads will be helpful

(21 Jan 2016, 6:34 pm)DanPicken wrote 8335 has an bit saying it received the Purple Variation of Quaylink.

The reason why 8335 had this was because when I first started adding the archive information, it was all done generically by month. As noted here, I started separating things out at a later date and attaching individual photographs to the news stories to make things a bit tidier.

I've now cleaned up the Quaylink information so that each repaint/application of branding has its own separate news story. I've also added photographs to each fleet item (example below):
http://northeastbuses.co.uk/fleet/gnefle...eetno=8338


In addition to this, Scania L94s 5229 - 5233 now all have a complete history archive and photos:
5229: http://northeastbuses.co.uk/fleet/gnefle...eetno=5229
5230: http://northeastbuses.co.uk/fleet/gnefle...eetno=5230

5232: http://northeastbuses.co.uk/fleet/gnefle...eetno=5232
5233: http://northeastbuses.co.uk/fleet/gnefle...eetno=5233

Ex-Redby MPDs 618 and 619 similarly all have a complete history archive and photos:
618: http://northeastbuses.co.uk/fleet/gnefle...leetno=618
619: http://northeastbuses.co.uk/fleet/gnefle...leetno=619

Likewise, 3941 - 3943 all have a complete history archive and photos:
3941: http://northeastbuses.co.uk/fleet/gnefle...eetno=3941
3942: http://northeastbuses.co.uk/fleet/gnefle...eetno=3942

Can someone give me some info on 4954, i seen it yesterday in York but can only find a limited amount of info on it.

Just livery's, allocations etc.

Our link on here, only gives me a limited amount of info: https://northeastbuses.co.uk/fleet/item.php?operatorF=2&fleetnoF=4954
